Christian Ballard Leaving Vikings

Defensive tackle Christian Ballard had a sack in the teams preseason opener against the Houston Texans, but was later pulled from the game with a groin injury thats kept him out of practice over the last week.

Ballard, a fourth-round pick in 2011, wont be returning to practice this week either. Coach Leslie Frazier announced after Sundays practice that Ballard has been placed on the active-left squad list after informing the team that he would be taking time away to deal with some personal issues.
